Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery

Article Abstract:

Research has identified gene mutations on 10 different chromosomes that appear to be involved in head and neck cancer. Studies have shown that people who received nasopharyngeal irradiation for various conditions 30 to 50 years ago do not have an increased risk of cancer. Hearing impairment may be a sign of early dementia in elderly people. Lasers have been used to treat port-wine stain, but many of the lesions return. Questionnaires can be used to determine how many snorers are at risk for sleep apnea syndrome, which can be surgically treated.
